Who was at the top with Krakauer?

• A. Anatoli Boukreev and Andy Harris
• B. Rob Hall and Scott Fischer
• C. Anatoli Boukreev and Rob Hall
• D. Andy Harris and Rob Hall

Answer: (A)

The event tested here is remembering who accompanied Krakauer on the final push to the summit as described in the narrative. The best answer identifies Anatoli Boukreev and Andy Harris as the ones who were at the top with Krakauer. Boukreev is highlighted in the account as a skilled guide whose presence mattered during the critical ascent, and Harris is noted as part of the climber group that reached the summit with Krakauer at that moment. The other names listed belong to climbers or guides who are associated with different teams or who aren’t described as sharing that exact moment at the top with Krakauer, so they don’t fit the scene as it’s depicted in the text.
